Abstract: At approximately 2:15 p.m. on May 12, 2005, Employee #1 was carrying two buckets of hot tar, one in each hand, while walking across the flat roof of a new three-story condominium building. As he was walking, Employee #1 stepped on a loose piece of felt paper which was lying on a 12-inch by 12-inch vent opening, with his left foot, and slipped into the opening. The hot tar bucket in Employee #1's left hand made contact with the roof surface and Employee #1's left hand unintentionally tipped the bucket and hot tar splashed on his left forearm. Employee #1 sustained third degree burn injuries to his left hand and forearm which required hospitalization and surgery.
